EGE [tr. ЕГЭ] (or GIA [tr. ГИА] – the 9th grade equivalent for those wishing to pursue an education at a college) is the mandatory exam for all public Russian-school graduates who wish to attend a higher level of education within Russia. The exam consists of four components, two of which are mandatory (Russia language acquisition and Mathematics higher and standard level) and two of which are electives (most commonly predetermined by the path/major chosen by the student during the 9th year of school before the EGE).
